Stumbled upon this neighborhood while we were grabbing lunch in Chelsea -- the striking resemblance to Carrie Bradshaw's street was too much to pass up.

A vision in white -- recent CFDA nominee Gregory Parkinson delivered quite the ethereal collection of lacey ivory hues that commanded both a ladylike and dreamlike feel. The separates alone (with the amount of detailing on them) blew me away, my favorite being the posey pink short sleeve overcoat in the fourth photo. 

Plus, the shoes are the result of a recent collaboration with Manolo Blahnik, that I'm of course, desperately waiting to be released!

nicole miller s/s 2012

 

 

 

 

 Strong 80s vibes abounded at the Nicole Miller show last week. Neon geometric graphics paired with black and white stripes -- very "Saved by the Bell" esque, but in the best way possible!

Note about the third photo: 1.) I love the way this dress straps in the back 2.) Look at Mr. Hamish Bowles looking dapper in the front row there!

Sequins. Laser-cut lace. And lots of chartreuse! The Rebecca Taylor S/S 2012 collection didn't disappoint (with plenty of dresses I certainly wanted to steal off the runway). My favorite look in particular is the first photo -- combining a slouchy sweater with oversized sequins and a flowy silk skirt -- I loved how it was equal parts casual chic as well as glamour. Plus, you all know I'm a sucker for ankle strap heels and I spotted more than a few pairs from this show that I'll try to snag for my closet soon enough.
